I want you baby but it brings you pain Oh I know it isn't easy I want your touch and how you make me feel Oh I know it isn't easy Black river rolls over smooth slick rocks I'm sittin' by the fire drinkin' whiskey with my thoughts And if you walked in I wouldn't have to pretend Tired of trying but I haven't had enough I know the joke has just begun There're things I gotta do even if there's nothing to prove And I know for you it isn't fun Thick fog covers up high tree tops Blowin smoke thinking bout what i got And if you were here This would all disappear Can't win em all but you can set yourself up to fall Into the bed you've made Stumbling around left the valley of wasteland And I still don't understand Waves captured little stones Carry them off the beach let them sink alone Toss and turn Roll along

Wicked Heart 03:03
You got a wicked heart Covered in pink insulation You got nowhere to be in the sunshine Baby be patient You had a shaky start And you got brave intonations It's a canon ball baby You been taken It's a company my love It's up to me my love Maybe what you can't think of It's a dead sea my love It's a company my love It's up to me my love

White Ocean 04:33
Here comes the white ocean Here comes the white sea On a fine whisper over Careless and free When I came to here See the women all were smiling wide And the pianos swept across the tide Here comes the white ocean Movin fast shifting me Never worry though my darlin' It's just a spiral just a song I've been singing to no one For just about as long I remember the feeling And the sadness in my heart And it took away my structure Thrashed me apart Here comes the white ocean

Downcountry 06:00
Lone mans across the borderline Wrongs he's done will surely eat him alive But on everything you can cast your doubts Sailing ships on the ocean blue Sail the distance between me and you Now you know that your life's just a length of time Blank faces through the same old day You know I'll know you when you see me again People cross me and they get out of the way Plough a field down a one way street Snowball in the desert heat I got fingers where my eyes should be Down country Down country High country Down country Palm trees and a rusty mirror Buzzards floating on the tropical air Dogs howlin' as the full moon stares Things are real when they become clear to you Things are real when they disappear from view Before you can even make a move Down country Down country High country Down country

Wake up and climb out You stand in front of the wall Lookin at the map you put up Wanderin in the fall Sheltered coves and harbours Shallow water to forgiving shores Something will come up Towards shadows you crawl I remember when I first met you We walked up the hill in the rain I didn't think I had a chance To you it was all the same In time we were forsaken By freedom by hope and fear I don't know all that I've learned But I'm thankful for these tears It wasn't just a dream Illusion is reality And one thing bleeds into the next As you remember and forget There's only so much you can do There's so little to say Especially for us But we don't need to go through that again

I'm too high to walk the streets Of this dying town If I can't find you here And pretty baby you know Just how to bring me down Every time you crawl into my head Down here they got these Christmas lights on their lawns But it's nearly march Down the road they got those Valentines hearts Laughing at me as I go Well girl you can't call me now Cause I left on that greyhound Pretty baby pick me up downtown I though you said you'd be Said you'd be true to me Now I'm wasted here Your voice is in my ear These prairie smiles are runnin' me dry And I missed my last trip the station The man told me I was flirtin' temptation on my own I'm too drunk to call your number on the phone Even if you ask me to But I'll write you some sad and lonesome tune That I'll never play for you
